I realize that the main purpose of this website is to support RG in his many endeavors.  However, in the upcoming Dakar Rally there maybe other Dakar teams we would also like to follow as they fight for second place behind the Speed Energy Hummer # 303.

Being from the U.S.A. I'll be watching Robby & Hummer #2, Street, Quinn, Miller & any other American (both No & So.) 

Canadians rarely show up, but I've seen a few in the past.

American cars, Quads (Polaris is from my home state), Trucks, Bikes (ha, No Rokons, but a Harley Side Hack a few years ago) are all noted.

First timers are always fun, especially those with little or no crew. The Privateers I believe.

Being a fan of the female form, I always track those drivers & crews. Go Annie Seel! Where's Jutta Kleinschmidt? (Robbies teammate the first go round, whom gave up hours & a steering rack for so she could run for the podium)

The Finns & Dutch Trucks for family tie reasons.

 

The Big $$$ mfgrs & teams are tough to follow, but Robbie gives them all a run.

I'm thinking he'll take the 2WD open class again, but I sure would like an over all #1.

A great retirement gift for the Hummer Brand

 

HUMMER:

Huge Ugly Monster Makes Enormous Ruts?

Howdy Underlings, My Monsterous Ego Rules?

Hold Undies, Motor Makes Extreme RPM's? (Robbie's only, Stockers stunk!)

 

 

Isn't Robby four wheel drive this year
false rumor. Still 2wd.

#366 DE URIARTE PEREZ JOAQUIN  in a US Prepped/built Predator
#368 DE URIARTE BUERGO PEDRO  In a US Prepped/built Predator

 

Both racing in the SCORE class. Will be fun to see how these cars do.

Along with the Hummers, I'll be folowing the Overdrive team with the Nissan Navarras. I don't know why, but those pick-ups are just awesome to watch.

Those Overdrives look good, Didn't DeVilleir (sp?) drive on a few years ago?

I've always liked the FJ Crusers & strange collection of buggies.

The McReas had issues last year but they're back in quantity.

Team Chinook 385 in a Chevy Sierra.

Team 430 CZE lists a H3 EVO Hummer, but no pictures of it yet.

Neither of these note 2 or 4wd

Team 431 ARG in a Jeep Grand Cherokee... Nice looking rig.

Lots of great looking rigs this year.

The Subaru Forester from Argentina: 2 cars, built in Cordoba, by Baratero. They start 138 y 148 and arrives 27 y 29. Very good job!!!!!!
